What is it?

A fish market with a restaurant on Howth's West Pier, the quay where the fishing boats tie up, ten minutes' walk from the DART station. It has several parts: the market shop (open daily from 8:00 to 18:00), a seafood bar, the Sea Grill restaurant and, from Friday to Sunday, an outdoor stall, The Shack.

What is there to eat?

Seafood and fish from Dublin Bay: oysters, prawns, crab and smoked salmon at the bar; grilled fish of the day at the Sea Grill. It is the natural meal after the cliff walk, which starts and ends very close by.

Opening hours

The Sea Grill is open for lunch every day: until 16:00 from Monday to Wednesday, until 21:00 from Thursday to Saturday and until 20:00 on Sunday. If you go on a Monday afternoon, the shop is still open and you can pick up something for the train.

What to order: a few oysters and a plate of crab at the seafood bar, or grilled fish at the Sea Grill.
